Yes. Utah owns Golden State's pick as part of the Deron Williams trade (got GSW's pick from NJ last year). The pick from GSW is top 7 protected though.

New Orleans also owns two firsts. Theirs plus Minnesota's which is unprotected. That pick could become a lot more valuable since Rubio just went down for the season. I would hate to deal with David Stern though.

Could you imagine trading for the Minny pick and it ends up being #12-14 and the Cavs end up winning the lottery with it again? Especially if Stern okays a trade to Cleveland.

EDIT:

NY's pick is top 5 protected. They're hanging on to the #8 spot in the playoffs right now though.

We all may hate Stern ,but he loves Gilbert. That connection may benefit us.
